Nova Medical Center offers upwards of 700 such procedures, covering specialties like ENT, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Plastic & Cosmetic, Radiology and Urology. Minimally invasive procedures are hugely beneficial to patients because of smaller incisions, minimal damage to surrounding tissues, lesser inflammation and negligible blood loss. Since the procedures do not require an overnight stay, patients can also avoid contracting Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs). Typically, surgical procedures at our Center take 30 minutes to 2 hours, allowing patients to return home the same day. Patients undergoing daycare procedures recover faster and resume normal routine within a day or two. At our centers, the surgeries/procedures are performed by surgeons who are the best in their respective fields.
